Theatrical trailer for the 1953 film "The Band Wagon", which got positive reviews but was only a modest box office hit. It starred Fred Astaire, Cyd Charisse, Oscar Levant, Nanette Fabray, and Jack Buchanan. Interestingly, the characters of Lester and Lily Marton were patterned after the screenwriters (Betty Comden and Adolph Green), though they weren't romantically involved in real life.

The film was a partial remake of the (now-incomplete/lost) 1929 film "Gold Diggers of Broadway" and the (fully lost) 1923 silent film "The Gold Diggers". The backstage musical was heavily themed around the "great depression", seen most notably in the production number "Remember My Forgotten Man".

Theatrical trailer for the 1945 Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer musical "Yolanda and the Thief", starring Fred Astaire, Lucille Bremer, and Frank Morgan.

Theatrical trailer for the 1943 musical "Cabin in the Sky", starring Ethel Waters, Eddie 'Rochester' Anderson, and Lena Horne. The film is notable for having an all African-American cast, for being the first film directed by Vincente Minnelli, and for having an inane & unneeded "apology" message on the DVD release. Yet they didn't apologise for "So Long Oolong" in "Three Little Words" or for having Mickey Rooney play Lorenz Hart in "Words and...

Theatrical trailer for a film released in 1956 called "Invitation to the Dance". This all-dancing, no-dialogue film consisted of three segments, each telling a story through dance. Gene Kelly directed this movie, and appears in all 3 segments. The film was a box office failure, and wasn't a success with critics either.
